EP 94: Stories from the Woods (& Why We Stay Out of Them)

This week’s episode is a campfire story special, filled with the kind of tales you were absolutely too young to hear at summer camp. You know the ones: the eerie, blood-chilling, “definitely real” stories passed around by flashlights in the dark.

🔦 Here's what we covered:

• A beautifully told (and deeply cursed) legend of ghostly lanterns on a cliff, passed down through generations of campers. One light appears for each soul about to die... and there are eight lights.
• A classic roadside encounter: a girl in white, a ride home... and a house that hasn’t been hers for five years.
• Gen shares a real family story (!!!) about the infamous "lady in white" of South Carolina.
• We spiral into six truly unhinged stories from a real U.S. Forest Service Search and Rescue officer, including:
  • “The Bear Man” who abducts a child
  • A woman vanishing from a tree
  • A faceless man at the top of a mountain
  • Something inhuman whispering in the woods
  • Staircases... just sitting in the middle of nowhere 👀

Would we survive a camping trip? Absolutely not. Are we going camping this summer anyway? Allegedly.

🚨 PSA: We’re 127 listeners away from being eligible for monetization, which would be HUGE for us. If you’ve been loving the podcast:

1. Share an episode with a friend
2. Leave a 5-star review wherever you listen
3. Follow us on Instagram and TikTok

You’d be shocked how much those three little things help us grow. (Also, the faster we hit our goal, the sooner we can justify more unhinged bonus content.)

🪵 Next week: We’re back to our regularly scheduled programming with the final installment on the BTK killer, Dennis Rader. You’ve waited. We’ve dragged it out. But it’s time.

Until then… Have courage and stay kind (of a bitch).
